Why Do People Don't Spell Right On The Internet

You have to remember that English is not the primary language for many people who post on the internet so they are more likely to make mistakes. English is not the easiest language to learn to write correctly. So, no, it doesn't bother me...and the mistakes in your post didn't bother me either.

Yes, I am sure you can't stand it when people misspell things on the internet. Please do not throw stones, there are many people on here who do not speak or spell English words correctly. Maybe you should re-read your discussion, and see how perfect it is. miss spell = misspell cannot = can not or can't pass you = pass your I bringing this to your attention, because you are criticizing other's and you did what you are complaining about.

Many people who use English sites don't have English as their first language. I think its better they wrote that way than stay away since its a good thing to get perspectives from a wide range. And whoever is ranting about 'coz,' we use it becoz it saves time and coz we have lots of other things to do.

i am good at spelling, but sometimes i make lame typos when i type fast or i use internet jargon, and prefer to type with all small letters like this. but i am one of those people who got As in spelling without studying for tests.

I'm the same way you are. I can't stand reading a message and having to reread because the spelling is so bad. If it's an obvious typo I don't mind that so much, but, even then it irritates me. I usually take the time to reread what I've typed and correct all the typos before sending it along. Another thing I find VERY frustrating is misuse of grammar. It's so sad to see that most people don't know proper grammar. That's what makes appear to be sooooo totally ignorant. Just as an example your discussion is entitled: "Why Do People Don't Spell Right On The Internet." It would have been more correct to write: "Why Do People Not Spell Right On The Internet?" or "Why Can't People Not Spell Right On The Internet?" Another sentence you typed is this one: "If it wouldn't pass you English class, then why should it be okay on the internet? The first part of that sentence doesn't make any sense at all. As I said before, a typo here and there is acceptable because we are human, but, when you're constantly making thses mistakes then you are being careless. The same thing applies with grammar. If a person just took the time to reread what they have typed before they post it.......that would make all the difference in the world. By the way, I love your username! It is so cute! That's what I should call my furangel! Purrs, Catwoman=^..^= & Mija

Don't you mean "Why Don't People Spell Right..." ? and 'misspell.' Your title is hard to understand

yup, i have to agree with you there. it annoys me to no end that people dont even seem to try. i know that with some people, english is not their first language, but still...i especially hate it when people say 'coz' or 'cuz' - people, the word is BECAUSE!

Well, English isn't the primary language for a lot of people here. So I think we should give them a chance. :D Especially when they accept their mistakes and admit that they need to improve their English. What gets to me just a bit are people who are quick to criticize yet are nowhere near perfect themselves.

The "cute" spelling sometimes gets on my nerves, but what really irks me is almost everyone, even people who should know better, using the nominative pronoun after a preposition. It's not "for you and I," it's "for you and me."
